CHARLOTTE, N.C. —The Carolina Panthers have added more depth to their already deep stable of running backs.

The agent for free agent running back Mike Tolbert said Monday his client has signed a four-year contract with the Carolina Panthers. Joel Turner said Tolbert was so excited about joining Carolina that he left over $1 million on the table on an offer from San Diego.

“That’s how bad he wanted to play there,” Turner said. “He loves the idea of playing for Ron Rivera and being on the same team with Cam Newton. He just thinks it’s a great fit.”
Turner did not release financial terms of the deal.
